Problem: Materials #4

A cube of ice is floating in a salt solution of density 1.25 times the density of pure water in a beaker. When the ice melts, the level of the solution in the vesselA. risesB. fallsC. remains unchangedD. falls at first and then rises to the same height as beforeSolutionShow solution >>The answer is A.A non-mathematical explanation would be that since the ice is floating, its mass would be the
